The Mystery Game

This game has developed the past few years.
Some would say its one of the best around.
I like to play along with all my peers.
I’m so glad its one of the sports I found.

You play it on a one hundred yard field
With two restraining lines on either end.
Two goalie creases in which you must yield,
Crease violations are often a trend.

You play with a stick and a yellow ball.
Mouth guards and goggles are essential, too.
They’re their to protect you in case you fall.
What is this game I have described to you?

Lacrosse is this great game that I speak of.

It is a game sent from heaven above!

  2. Your details in the poem about the game really educate the reader. Your poem flows nicely with the rhyming and the iambic pentameter is great and has good rhythm in it.
